The Minnesota estate where Prince was found collapsed in an elevator from an accidental drug overdose in April will be open for public tours later this year.
Bremer Trust, the company overseeing the late music icon’s 65,000-square-foot complex in the suburb of Chanhassen, made the announcement on Wednesday.
“Opening Paisley Park is something that Prince always wanted to do and was actively working on,” Prince’s sister, Tyka Nelson, said in a statement.
Fans will soon be able to see Prince’s private studio space as well as thousands of his personal artifacts.
“Only a few hundred people have had the rare opportunity to tour the estate during his lifetime. Now, fans from around the world will be able to experience Prince’s world for the first time as we open the doors to this incredible place.”
The guided 70-minute tours will take fans through the recording and mixing studios where Prince’s biggest hits such as ‘Cream’ and ‘Diamonds And Pearls’ were created.
Thousands of Prince’s personal belongings will also be on display, “including iconic concert wardrobe, awards, musical instruments, artwork, rare music and video recordings, concert memorabilia, automobiles and motorcycles.”
Prince was 57 years of age when he died of an accidental overdose from fentanyl, a powerful opioid used to treat pain.
